A Modern Approach to Autism Communication
For decades, the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) has been a foundational tool for non-verbal children with autism. However, physical binders can be cumbersome, easily damaged, and time-consuming for parents and educators to maintain.
My Voice Board serves as a powerful, digital Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) app. By leveraging interactive touch screens, it not only replaces physical picture cards but enhances the experience with immediate audio feedback. This auditory component is crucial for encouraging verbal approximations and eventual speech development in autistic children.
How It Works
- Take Photos: Snap a quick photo of your child's favorite snack or toy.
- Add Voice: Record yourself (or a sibling) saying the word.
- Communicate: Your child taps the photo to hear the word and express their needs instantly.
